Any chance of getting POD version up again? Or (preferably) more box sets?

Yes to both. But it's taking time.

That is very encouraging. Thanks for your reply.

What rule set was this written for? I am still wondering what the monetary units are.

Any old D&D, with stats for Swords & Wizardry and Adventure Fantasy Game.

C is for Coin, so if you use a gold standard it's going to be gold coins, and if you use a silver standard, like in LotFP, it's silver coins.

Beside, there are no markets or merchants, and i assign almost no monetary treasures. Coins and gems are fine if you trade with remote lands, or the local farmers and fisherpeople. Given the abundance of portals, it should not be a problem to travel far!

I suggest to use barter, and owing favours. After all your Masters can just force your character to enchant trinkets for them.

Thank you!

And if c means coin what does t stand for?

Thaler. It's an error and should have been a c.
Thalers are the silver coins in Adventure Fantasy Game, the other game CC is statted for. It's a silver coin from Central Europe, literally "of the valley". Cognate with Vale, Dale (as in, Dalelands), and of course Dollar.

Can you please update the PDF with some rudimentary bookmarks please?

Considering the lack of a table of contents (!!!) that is a huge oversight for usability.

Check the end of the book! It's there!
I need to fix the PDF for other issues and I'll fix this too..

Cool! That helps make digging through the content a little more palatable.

Why was the POD withdrawn?

PUBLISHER

I put some corrections through, but then the file had issues. I'm trying to fix it!

On the other hand, preorders are open for the new printing of the boxed set.

Okay, good to know. It is such a great little book, just brimming with nifty ideas.

For some reason the link in my review will not display correctly, so let's see if this works:

The Chthonic Codex is a cornucopia of creativity. Too often magic in rpgs is presented in a very pragmatic and bland way, but in this book every spell has flavor and adventure hooks for magic-users of all stripes. A vast and vibrant setting is indicate [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
